Brief

Create an integrated campaign that helps the Mayor achieve his vision of a cleaner, greener London.

Solution

We created a strong concept for this work under the proposition ‘The Mayor is fighting to protect your air’. The strapline and rallying cry of the campaing was ‘No More Big Smoke’ which came to life in the form of a fully intergrated campaign which engaged the public in the fight for chang,e and helped them to make choices which would reduce pollution in the city.

Behaviour

We aimed to make Londoners realise that the situation is critical and bold action is needed by the Mayor to tackle the city’s air pollution. We also wanted to Improve understanding of how the issue can affect people and how they can act to support the change.

Reach

Ideas driven by the #NoMoreBigSmoke vehicle were aimed at 3 levels; London-wide, Neighbourhood-wide and Hyper-local. Each would target the audience in a different but equally impactful way.

Legacy

We built an emotional, long term creative platform concept that would unite a large range of messages and initiatives over the next decade or more, and can be used to speak to a range of different audiences as required.

OOH + Digital

Out of home/digital avertising focused on a timeline of tangible changes which the Mayor of London would look to achieve through policies over the next 10 years. These would animate to illustrate a gradual cleaning of London’s air over time as each policy was introduced.

Past & Present

A direct comparison of London in the 50s with modern day showed the public that the pollution problem is just as present.

Citymapper

Partnership with Citymapper allowed the public to choose cleaner routes on their daily travels.

Public Interaction

#NoMoreBigSmoke would interact with the public in a live way through many channels encouraging them to change their behaviour.
